People
get confused between care and morals, and mix the two together.

Care is
unconditional and allows others to do and say what they feel, but
morals have conditions on everything, it restricts how people should
act, say and do and dictates how they should be treated if they don't
abide by moral standards.

Morals
judge and blame and if you use them, you become numb.

Being
Numb happens out of hardness and when we choose to use our emotions
on others and become offended.

If you
witness something offensive, your initial reaction is to decide that
you don't like it, you then become upset and emotional and then make
the decision to deal with the offender, but in having to action out
your moral disgust, you then have cut off your feelings and out of
your own fear and disgust, treat the offender or offence like they
are a Numb-ber, this could be your family member, spouce, kids,
friends, pets etc..

You go
'Numb' to teach them a Moral 'lesson'.

This is
how soldiers in wars 'seemingly' kill without remorse, how torture of
others happens and how Men, Women and Children are killed on mass as
'casualties of war'; objectified for a Moral Cause, because each side
felt they were doing what was right and just and took all feelings
out of it, they treated other human beings like objects, just as we
do, when;.. say,.... in a domestic situation, when a wife catches her
husband watching porn, she has an emotional reaction and then,
instantly 5 or 10 + years of knowing who this man is, gets wiped and
suddenly he has no feelings or point of view, he is just this one
thing, and it doesn't matter how good he is in life or how well he
treats her, she now has a moral obligation to say whatever she feels
like and to torture him..

On a
different angle, if you see a person hitting a dog, and this is
something that offends you, it is still your choice to get emotional
about it, you can stop the person, just as you should stop anything
inflicting pain on something, but it is still your choice as to
whether you Judge them or not and then start beating them as they
beat the dog... It is your choice to either stop then by becoming
them or stop then but still hold your feelings; love...

You can
also get completely power mad with enjoyment in putting people in
their places, and being up on a high horse, and some people love the
drama, and negativity and forget that the reason they are doing it in
the first place is to have more care and relaxation, not constant
fighting in negativity, some also turn it into a way that they can
talk about themselves and the great person they are, and rub it in
the faces of others. (Ego)

Always
go for the path that lets more love in not less, more ease and more
forgiveness.

'Your work is a reflection and action
of who you are. If you love what you do, your entire being exists in
that state of love. That love is then what you offer the world
through your work and actions'.

My Art is a
Celebration of Colour, Animals, and .. Weirdness.. and the Awe and
Feelings that these combined evoke.

Animals are a
subject close to my heart (vegan) and my passion; And the freedom of
drip painting as well as combining strange Surrealism concepts using
Vibrant Colour is a complete expression from my soul.

My name is Helen
Leigh born and raised in the Garden City of - Christchurch, New
Zealand.

I am a self taught Artist, Aphorist and
Poet, and have traversed, tried, failed and indifferent-ed :) all
genres of Art and Writing over the past 14 years; in learning what
was the best expression of me.

And after all my research, It was a
completely un-researched accident that ended up being my primary
'Drift' or style of art which is what I later learned is called
'Drip' or Splatter Painting.

It took me the past 5 years to refine
my style and to figure out exactly what I was doing. I developed my
style after a Friend saw that I had spilled water on one of my
coloured sheets of card and that it had made a kind of Rainbow bleed
of drips of colour and said to me that it would be great to make
paintings like this and I was instantly excited by the idea, so I set
to re-create it..

This then culminated into incorporating
my passion for Animals (veganism) as my primary subject matter; a
subject that I found was a great expression of my feelings... I also
took some cues from graffiti and other surrealsits & the
Psychedelic 70's style or art, philosophies and music..

HOW DID I GET HERE?? ..WHY I WRITE AND
PAINT...

After struggling with Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome for past 10 years and in particular, the past 5 years having
been practically immobilised by it, I started to look within; and
with the help of my Shaman friend, I began to work on myself and my
environment and find ways to improve both; and my health.. Every time
I realised something and changed it, I got a little better, so I
began to write or draw these realisations down. I Started with Chalk
Pastels and Graphic Art as mediums to create images and Symbols to
remind myself of my learning as well as my Poetry and Aphorisms to
record my feelings and my gained wisdom... All my creative outlets
became just that - Outlets, a way to express myself, and to create
extensions of myself that I could share.

It was best put by Moira Bush on her
series of Angel Cards:

'Your work is a reflection and action
of who you are. If you love what you do, your entire being exists in
that state of love. That love is then what you offer the world
through your work and actions'. (as written above)

So my 'Work' and Life became Art and I
developed my own style and created an online gallery.

My goal will always remain the same..
Which is that I simply wish to create beauty and meaning and hare
it. The added bonus is that mostly I stop and look at what I have
painted or written and realise that I have in fact been shared
with!...(from a higher source) And that feeling is so compelling,
completely amazing, and really addictive..
